Valerian Root to Promote Relaxation!

 I need to relax, damn it! This year is going to the best year ever! I'm going to be ultra limber, relaxed, well rested and taking over the world, big time. To ensure my success, I've gone herbal. I'm throwing peppermint oil in warm milk to settle my stomach and I'm poppin' Valerian root like whoa. Oh and I'm hittin' the krill pill. That's right. It grosses me out kind of because really, how did they get that krill in there? But at 27, my joints are cracking in ungodly ways and I've had enough! I'm also back into stretching and getting low on the regs which is great for flexibility, a clear mind, and feeling like the shit. What, what!

I've substitute taught twice this week. Not bad. Elementary kids have a lot more snot-rockets than the middle school kids I used to deal with. Whenever I want a kid to sit down, I deepen my voice so it sounds like a man's and demand their attention. They are usually shocked enough by this to do as they're told. Today the class told me I sounded like I came from Brooklyn. I did so don't mess with me! I think that older kids get my wit better but the younger ones can appreciate me twirling around. Plus, they are shorter than me.

 I like doing work that is fulfilling. I think I'll be better able to pursue getting my own talk show and taking over the world if I have some stable awesomeness that I take pride in. It's happening. I can feel it!

Oh what else. Okay, freshman year of college my roommate told me about Rabbit Rabbit-ing. On the first of every month, the first words to escape your mouth are supposed to be "rabbit rabbit", guaranteeing good luck for the month. Well, I did that nonstop for oh, 9 years or so. Never missed a date. Even if I thought about not rabbit rabbiting, there I was, rolling over and muttering the damn words. Not this month folks. And I tell ya, I feel fine. I feel very fine indeed. I'm quite zealous about life. My zest is back people! The only thing that is sort of bringing me down right now is that Rags (dearest cat) does not enjoy the white fish chunks I bought him.

And in other news, I just made chocolate chip cookies from spelt flour and feel they're beyond delightful.

Additionally, I am reinstating my goal of being the leading lady of my life.
